The right not to know: the case of psychiatric disorders
Journal of Medical Ethics 37 (11):673-676 (2011)
| Abstract |
This paper will consider the right not to know in the
context of psychiatric disorders. It will outline the
arguments for and against acquiring knowledge about
the results of genetic testing for conditions such as
breast cancer and Huntington’s disease, and examine
whether similar considerations apply to disclosing to
clients the results of genetic testing for psychiatric
disorders such as depression and Alzheimer’s disease.
The right not to know will also be examined in the
context of the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders that are
associated with stigma or for which there is no effective
treatment.
